NRC to webcast May 2nd public call to close U.S. Fukushima-style reactors
On Thursday, May 2, 2013 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm Eastern Time, the United States
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will webcast and telephone conference link
its meeting with representatives from communities challenging the continued
operation of thirty-one Fukushima-style reactors here in the United States. The
groups along with now more than 2,250 co-signers have petitioned the federal
agency for the closure of the GE Mark I and Mark II boiling water reactors
because of the unreliable containment structures that are vulnerable to
catastrophic failure during a serious nuclear accident.
The NRC is meeting with the public Thursday, May 2, 2013, from 1:00 pm to 3:00
pm (Eastern Time), in the Commissioners’ Hearing Room in NRC Headquarters,
Rockville, Maryland. The NRC will provide 300 toll-free telephone lines at
1-888-603-9750 and enter Passcode 5506147 for the general public and interested
media to listen to the groups’ arguments for enforcement action. The NRC will
also broadcast the public meeting in a LIVE video webcast.
You can sign-up to be a co-petitioner with the Beyond Nuclear call to revoke
the operating license of these dangerous Fukushima-design reactors.More

US making plutonium for risky space launches
US-made plutonium could power the next NASA space probe, despite the obvious
risks that could expose at least 5 billion people on the ground to radiation if
an accident occurred. The plutonium is being made at the Oak Ridge (TN)
National Laboratory, ironically the site of a dramatic break-in last July by
three pacifists - Michael Walli, Sister Megan Rice and Greg Boerje-Obed
(pictured L to R) who face trial beginning May 7 after throwing blood on the
Highly Enriched Uranium Facility. Protesters continue to rally at the site in
opposition to a proposed new weapons uranium processing facility. More
